Patrick Reed won this tournament in 2019, however it was a different course. Off the tee at the TPC Boston golf course, the landing areas are generous, so power is a premium advantage. The highest-ranked golfers who hit it a long way off-the-tee have done well in the past, but Reed is currently ranked #136 in Driving Distance (293.8 yards), #201 in Total Driving, and #69 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green. Red-hot Webb Simpson is third in the FedExCup rankings with 10 Top 12 finishes in 14 tournaments this season. That includes winning the RBC Heritage in June (22-under-par), placing eighth at the Rocket Mortgage Classic (15-under-par) last month, and last week at the Wyndham Championship (3rd-place, 18-under-par). Simpson is eighth in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, #18 in Total Driving, and second in Birdie Average and Scoring Average (68.888). He's also ranked sixth in Total Putting. Back Webb Simpson to win this head-to-head matchup.
